1 Corinthians 8:4-7

English Standard Version

⁴ Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that ^(A)“an idol has no real existence,” and that ^(B)“there is no God but one.” ⁵ For although there may be ^(C)so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— ⁶ yet ^(D)for us there is one God, the Father, ^(E)from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and ^(F)one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and ^(G)through whom we exist.

⁷ However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, ^(H)through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and ^(I)their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
